Research/Scholarly Work
Publications
Books
Caminero-Santangelo, Marta. Documenting the Undocumented: Narrative, Nation, and Social
Justice in the Gatekeeper Era. Under review.
Submitted July 2013. Under Contract Oct 2014. This new book examines narratives
representing undocumented Latin American immigrants in recent texts (1990 to present)
by US Latino/a writers. It asks the questions: How are recent Latino/a narratives in the
US intervening in immigration debates, which pivot around our understandings of the
"American nation"? How might these narratives shift, reconceive, or reinforce, the terms
of the debate? I examine texts that are traditionally considered "literary" (novels and
autobiography) as well as forms of writing that often are viewed as outside of literary
activity: journalism, ethnography, oral histories, and even letters home. Supported by a
KU Hall Center for the Humanities Research Fellowship for Fall 2008 semester and by a
Smithsonian Institution Research Fellowship for 2009-2010
